Specific types of incorrect output for terminals

This section contains some suggestions about what to do for specific types of incorrect output, and what might be at fault.

Logon rejection message
If you get a logon rejection message when you attempt to log on to CICS®, it could be that the TYPETERM definitions for the terminal are incorrect.
Unexpected messages and codes
If the “wrong data” is in the form of a message or code that you do not understand, look in the appropriate manual for an explanation of what it means.
Unexpected appearance of upper and lowercase characters
If the data displayed on your terminal has unexpectedly been translated into uppercase characters, or if you have some lowercase characters when you were expecting uppercase translation, you must look at the options governing the translation.

EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL and uppercase translation

CICS client virtual terminal
If the code page sent by a client is incorrect, this can lead to the entire screenful of data being incorrect. You must resolve this problem at the client end of operations.
